*A scoping review of RCT studies on the effectiveness and health outcomes of smoking cessation interventions in middle-aged (45-64 years) and older adults (65+ years) yielded a total of 44 relevant articles. Results showed that middle-aged and older adult smokers are just as, if not more successful at quitting smoking than their younger counterparts using a combined intervention of counseling and cessation medications. Many of the studies did not explicitly focus on older adults, but instead focused on medical conditions more prevalent within aging populations. Future research on older adults should clarify age definitions and report stratified analyses by age.
